This review is from: Way to Crochet!: "20 Cool, Easy Projects for Kids of All Ages" (Paperback)

I recently decided to learn how to crochet. I have one book, "A to Z of Crochet" that is a wonderful reference for how to make various stitches. However, I wanted another book with easy projects. "Way to Crochet" was just what I needed to get started with some beginner level projects. I have an 11 year old daughter so she will enjoy using some of the projects I'll make from this book. Things I plan to make include the Best-Friends Bracelets, Ribbon Shoelaces, Button-up Bracelet, Bead-dazzled Rings, Hip-tie Belt, Stretchy Headband, and Rainbow Yarn Purse.

You don't have to be a kid to enjoy the patterns in this book. More "grown-up" projects include two different scarf patterns, a pet blanket, cat toys, a bath mitt, and a pillow.

I run a Crochet Club at the school where I work for 3rd and 4th graders. Although patterns are challenging for my students to read, they enjoy getting ideas from the book.

I actually found the instructions for single chain confusing! I had to check a YouTube video to figure it out. Also, I wish it went beyond single-chain. Book does have some cute projects.
